Anastasia walked backstage to greet Felicia. After all, Felicia and her design team were the stars of the
product launch party.
“Your designs are so beautiful this time, Felicia.” Anastasia commented as she flipped through the art
book. Everything in there was well-designed.
“I hope we didn’t disappoint you.” In Felicia’s mind, Anastasia was the boss.
“I believe in you, Felicia.”
“Anastasia.” Suddenly, a lady called out from behind them before Katrina swiftly moved to stand behind
Anastasia.
“Katrina,” Anastasia greeted with a smile.
“Do you mind if we talk in private?” Katrina nervously asked. She currently found it hard to talk to
Anastasia because she exuded an oppressive pressure that Katrina did not like.
Felicia gently patted Anastasia on the cheeks. “I’ll help the team out now, Anastasia.”
The moment Felicia was gone, Katrina took a deep breath. “I know Bourgeois is looking for a
spokesperson for their product. I was hoping I could have a chance to be in your advertisements.”

Katrina bit her lip. “Anastasia, can you make an exception for me just this once? Please? My brother
helped you all those years, after all.”
Naturally, Anastasia knew exactly what Katrina was thinking. The woman wanted compensation for
Mason’s help all those years and if the one making the request had been Mason, she would have gone
along with the plan before asking about why.
When Anastasia remained silent, Katrina continued, “I know I should not be greedy and take advantage
of something owed to someone else, but we are like a
family. Can’t you make an exception?”
Anastasia knew that Mason was not someone to ask for reparations either. “I’ll have to ask the team
about it. I’ll let you know when I have news.”
“Thank you, Anastasia.” Katrina smiled. When Anastasia left, she let out a sigh of relief. Her brother
would not ask for anything in return because he was at proud man, but she was not like him.
She would use anything she could to help herself since she was not doing well as at model. If she
wanted to become a celebrity, she would have to be famous first.
When Anastasia returned to her seat, Elliot was chatting with Larry, who then stood up the moment he
noticed her return. The show started the moment she returned.
Lights beamed down onto the stage as masked models strutted while decked out in jewelry made by
Bourgeois. Naturally, Katrina was one of the models. She had all her attention focused on doing the
best she could. However, when she
walked by, she would stare at Elliot.
Anastasia noticed it, of course. She knew what kind of woman Katrina was. As long as there was an
opportunity, Katrina would do anything to seduce someone.
Before the show, Anastasia had been contemplating giving her a chance because of her connection to
Mason. Now, however, all of those thoughts had been chucked out of the window.
“I have to answer a call, sweetheart,” Elliot softly said.
She merely nodded in response as she was engrossed in the show. Then, just as he stood up, one of
the female celebrities stood up as well. Although she left in the opposite direction, the corridors outside
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe hall were all interconnected.
That celebrity had been waiting for her chance. Using the excuse that she had to head to the bathroom,
she walked out of the hall. When she eventually made her way over to the other side, she saw Elliot
taking a phone call while standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Elliot was like a magnet that attracted the gaze of every woman present that evening. No matter where
he stood, he would become the center of attention.
After all, he was a man whom people rarely saw. Any woman with brain cells would know not to waste
any opportunity that came along.
The celebrity’s name was Cathryn. Windsor. She was considered one of the most popular celebrities of
the year due to a popular show that had recently aired. Due to her fame, she had recently been
announced as the spokesperson for Bourgeois’ new products..
However, her ambitions did not end there. She wanted a strong and powerful benefactor, someone like
Elliot Pregrave, who stood at the top of the food chain.
Elliot ended the call and turned to return to the event hall. At the same time, she pretended to be busy
talking on the phone and acted as if she did not see him there. When she crashed into him, he reached
a hand out to her shoulder to stop her from falling to the ground.
